Too Much OIL
Just figured out that the KK folks over filled my 2010 6.4L with oil by 1.5 gallons! Had some sporadic smoke coming out the exhaust and decided to start investigating---drained 6 gallons of oil out this morning! Shame on me for not checking the oil after the last change by the KK guys---
Other than adding 15 Qts of new Rotella T---anything else I should do?
Sure appreciate any insight on this issue, but the truck seems to be running just find---but the diesel mpg has dropped from 14 to 8!

I'd report them to the BBB for others to see. I don't think you will have any longer term effects but possible the DPF.
What does your tail pipe look like?
Good that you didn't have a runaway with that.

I'm beginning to wonder how they put in that much extra. Any half whit lube tech would check the oil level after filling. 2+ gallons would almost definitely cause a run away engine.

Funny you should say that Senix, just posted in another thread on a 6.4L that has had a couple of runaway problems with it. Just offered that as a point to look at! I've seen it twice now.

Did you get an analysis done? May not have been all oil. These trucks will make oil, mine was making about a half to 3/4 of a quart every 1000 miles. Ran as high as 6% dilution. So, if the truck is stock it could be making oil, although 2 gallons seems a bit much unless there was something else going on like a leaking injector. If it was me I'd want to get it checked. I'm not sure whar KK is (I'm guessing it's not Krispy Kreame) but I don't let anybody but ford change mine unless I stand there and watch them. Also, take a look at the thread just below this one about the full throttle caused by too much oil. Seems like they might have done the same thing your KK guy did.
